Question
Consider the Lewis structure for hydrogen fluoride
(HF).
H—F :
A. If hydrogen fluoride were to behave as
an acid (assuming that was possible), draw and
upload as an attachment here the Lewis structure
of its resulting conjugate base.
B. Reflecting on your answer for Part A and using
the three acid-base models from Q1, would you
predict the conjugate base would form? (Does this
situation make sense)?

C. If hydrogen fluoride were to behave as

D. Reflecting on your answer for Part C and using
the three acid-base models from Q1, would you
predict the conjugate acid would form? (Does this
situation make sense)?
E. Considering your responses to Parts B and D,
would you predict hydrogen fluoride would behave
as an acid, a base, either, or neither? Explain your
reasoning.
